Reviews
“David LaRochelle…knows how to engage young readers from the first page. The clever premise of this book is that the reader is co-author and co-illustrator, drawing elements on each page that can change the plot. The cover rightly gives readers credit for their creativity, reading ‘By David LaRochelle and YOU.’ .…Each time the book is read, the child is invited to complete the story in a different way, sparking creativity and a sense of mastery. Everyone can write a children’s book, so long as they have someone like LaRochelle steering the ship.” (Marissa Moss, New York Journal of Books)
“What fun these books are — wry, intriguing and about as interactive as you can get.” (Laurie Hertzel, Minnesota Star Tribune)
